After WW2 when Communists asked Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski to work for them and improve Communist economy, he replied:

"I can make an omelette from whole eggs, but I cannot make whole eggs from an omelette."

Thus refusing and telling them what was his opinion about the feasibility of Communist economic theories in the real world.

Why did Poland decide to build the city of Gdynia?

During the Polish-Soviet War, Pro-Bolshevik workers in Free City Gdansk notoriously sabotaged Polish war efforts:

There was a German-Polish customs war during the 1920s and the early 1930s:

Traffic of Polish export and import goods through Gdansk was being disturbed, so Poland decided to build a new coastal city. Gdynia had existed before, but only as a fishing village. Since the 1920s the city was rapidly developing and by 1932 Gdansk was marginalized and could not withstand economic competition from Gdynia, which surpassed it in value of trade and became Poland's main harbor.

Is Gdynia still Poland's main harbor to this day?

Is it still developing at a faster rate than Gdansk?
